* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Vanellope. While Ralph is justifiably criticized for being overprotective and clingy towards her, Vanellope's own misdeeds are not condemned (even by those who suffer from them). She is seemingly unappreciative of Ralph's enormously impressive effort to save ''Sugar Rush'', which ''she'' broke in the first place, and abandons her game for ''Slaughter Race'', not discussing the move with others. It doesn't help that game-jumping was associated with the BigBad and even Ralph in the previous film; Ralph's actions were not intended to be permanent, not to mention having a much worse situation there than Vanellope does in this film.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Due to the... controversial nature of the ending (with a considerable amount of the fanbase deriding it for breaking the original movie's aesop and turning Vanellope into a DesignatedHero) some fans preferred that the events of this movie did not happen at all, or at least felt like the movie could have ended on a different note.

** The scene where Ralph reads the mean comments about him is supposed to be a TearJerker, but the scene is so poorly executed to some that it just comes off as funny. For one thing, the commenters don't know that Ralph is an individual, so in reality they're getting heated and making personal insults about a ''video game meme.''[[note]][[TruthInTelevision Not that this stops certain people on the actual internet from being overly offended by the most minor and harmless of things like this in real life.]][[/note]] Secondly, a movie for children can't exactly get into [[InternetJerk the worst of Internet comments,]] so anybody who's ever been in a comment section on sites like [=YouTube=] has seen much worse that calling someone a "loser" or a "worthless bum" seem rather tame by comparison. Older viewers prefer to quote the internet commenters as a joke (or even [[ReviewIronicEcho use them to make fun of the movie]]) rather than take that scene as a real tearjerker.

* AwardSnub: Downplayed. Many doubted the film would win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature anyhow, as it had to compete with nominees ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', the latter of which ultimately won.
